Ralston Tinting Systems uses Connec2 to enable global remote introductions and training
Digital Transformation with Connec2
Connec2’s XR platform enables global introductions and remote training, resulting in less travel and a sustainable impact.
“This versatile tool is ideal for innovative companies and offers detailed remote interaction—perfect for complex technologies such as our tinting. It presents our company in an impressive way and leaves a lasting impression on users.”
Eric van Meerten, New Business Development Manager Tinting Systems at Ralston, a subsidiary of Koninklijke Van Wijhe Verf, uses the Connec2 XR platform to do business more efficiently and sustainably.
“Koninklijke Van Wijhe Verf specializes in export activities, with Ralston Coatings selling paint under the Ralston label.
My specific team, Ralston Tinting Systems, focuses on selling color-mixing systems to other paint manufacturers.”
Challenges
“During the development of our new Tintingale concept, amid the corona pandemic, we faced the challenge of limited travel.
Launching our innovative color-mixing system required virtual presentation and training to remain effective in a rapidly changing world.”
The Choice for Connec2
“Connec2 came our way through a collaboration with a software developer who participated in a consortium promoting VR.
The ability to present ourselves in VR and create custom spaces in metaspace convinced us of Connec2’s value.”
Implementation with Support
“The implementation of Connec2 involved designing a dedicated VR introduction and training room. We worked with an external design agency for the holodeck. Connec2 provided continuous online support for setting up accounts and avatars, which was crucial for a smooth start.”
Results Achieved
“Thanks to Connec2, we have achieved significant savings on travel costs, supporting our sustainability efforts as a B-Corp certified company. Introducing VR has not only positioned us as a professional and innovative firm, it also led to valuable interactions and demonstrations at the European Coating Show.”
Remote Training
“Although we are still at the beginning of Tintingale technology, we plan to apply Connec2 in another business area—specifically UV-curable coatings. We are exploring the possibilities of practical VR training for applying this critical coating.”
Connec2 as a Complete Innovative Tool
Connec2 is fully focused on the possibilities of VR and AR, allowing multiple users to benefit from the same platform without reinventing the wheel.
“It has quickly given us the ability to conduct global remote introductions and training, helping us save costs while embracing sustainable practices. Connec2 has not only helped us convey complex tinting technology remotely, but has also presented our company impressively as an innovator in the market. Connec2 is a complete tool that leaves a lasting, innovative, and sustainable impression on our customers.”
